Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes - You have spent your life striving to follow Islamic principles, your estate plan shouldn't be the exception. A Sharia-compliant plan ensures your final assets are distributed in a way that honors your deen, fulfills your divine obligations, and protects your family's future.

  • As our Islamic guidance scholar, Imam Mohamed Hag Magid likes to say, “It’s beyond just the numbers.” An estate plan isn’t Sharia-compliant just because the distributions are going to the correct heirs. A Sharia-compliant estate plan encapsulates not only the divinely ordained distributions but also the fulfillment of the objectives of the Sharia throughout every legal document.

  • At Estwani Law we only do Sharia-compliant estate planning. Our focus is ensuring Muslims have an estate plan that bridges the gap between divine obligation and modern legal strategy, ensuring your wealth, your children, and your values are protected.
